Key Issues, Tensions, Dimensions • Collaborative benefits vs. process/time costs • Front-line perspectives vs. apex of government • Management discipline vs. political imperative • Hard infrastructure vs. wicked challenges • Urban challenges vs. remote challenges • Project management vs. emotional intelligence • Relationship-building vs. public sector mobility • Personal interaction vs. technology enhanced • Building capacity “in” vs. building it “out” • Essential, consequential vs. tick-box, symbolic Did any of you have a sense of “deja vu”?

  4. Collaboration can involve such a wide array of possibilities and circumstances that it becomes bewildering to think about. Can we find another vantage point? Public Management and/or Governance Challenge

  5. Moving to a Governance Perspective • Always recognize that in Westminster systems to collaborate is like “pulling against gravity” • Moving from PM perspective to governance think suggests these kinds of questions: • What does more collaborative activity mean on a government-wide basis (beyond projects)? • How can the centre and agency executives be more strategic and selective about collaboration? • How much skill and talent do we really have to develop in order foster sufficient collaboration? • Do we have sufficient opportunities and concepts for sharing and learning from experience?

  6. Thank You!
